Creative artist and cultural entrepreneur with diverse skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate artist and cultural entrepreneur based in Lagos, Nigeria, with a rich background in music, writing, and multimedia production. My journey has been marked by numerous accolades, including the UNESCO/Aschberg Bursary in Art and Music and the Premio Caymmi Award for Best New Revelation. I thrive on creating impactful experiences through my art, as evidenced by my nomination for Best World Fusion at the One World Music Europe in 2020/2021.
Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, from event coordinator to artist in residence, and have collaborated with diverse teams across Africa and beyond. My commitment to cultural entrepreneurship is reflected in my recent training in cultural entrepreneurship and my role as a farm consultant, where I merge creativity with community development. I believe in the power of storytelling and visual arts to inspire change, and I am dedicated to using my skills to uplift and empower communities.
